Suggest Treatment For Pain In Finger Joint
Sudden horrible pain in either pointing finger at first knuckle can not bend it for about 5 sometimes 10 minutes. Vein in knuckle feels like it swells. It goes back to normal and I can bend it but it feel very sore to the touch. When it happens it feels like someone has my knuckle in a vice.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems to be trigger finger.Physiotherapy would be helpful in these cases.I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
In the interim, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
